A/HRC/22/53/Add.4 algérien, membre du mouvement d‟opposition algérien Rachad dont il est l‟un des membres fondateurs et directeur exécutif de l‟organisation non gouvernementale Alkarama pour les droits de l‟homme basée à Genève. Selon les informations reçues, le 16 janvier 2012, M. Mourad Dhina a été arrêté à l‟aéroport de Paris-Orly. Cette arrestation serait une mise à exécution d‟un mandat d‟arrêt international émis par les autorités algériennes en 2003. Le Rapporteur Spécial exprimait de sérieuses craintes pour l‟intégrité physique et mentale de M. Dhina si celui-ci venait à être extradé vers son pays d‟origine. Le 8 mai 2012 le Gouvernement informait que a ce stade, la procédure d‟extradition se trouvait dans sa phase judiciaire. Le principe constitutionnel de l‟indépendance de l‟autorité judiciaire empêche d‟intervenir dans le cours de la procédure. Le 4 juillet 2012 la Présidente de la Chambre d'instruction, dans un bref délibéré, a rejeté la demande d'extradition, conformément à la Convention algéro-française de 1964 et des dispositions du Code de procédure pénale la considérant comme n'étant pas fondée. Le Rapporteur spécial encourage le Gouvernement de la France à poursuivre son engagement avec le Mandat. Georgia (a) JUA 02/08/2012 Case No. GEO 1/2012 State reply : 26/09/2012 Alleged detention and torture at the Police Temporary Detention Isolatior in the Kvareli District 42. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Georgia for its reply, dated September 26, 2012, to this communication in reference to the alleged torture of Mr. Irakli Beraia, a human rights defender who was arrested during a peaceful protest. In its reply, The Government provided information denying having had knowledge of Mr. Beraia‟s allegations of torture on June 29, 2012, but did not explain how this could have occurred given that the allegations were made at a public press conference. The Special Rapporteur recalls paragraph l of Human Rights Council Resolution 16/23, which “[c]ondemns all forms of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, including through intimidation, which are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever and can thus never be justified, and calls upon all States to implement fully ' the absolute and nonderogable prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” According to the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and other organs of implementation of human rights, prosecutors are under an obligation to investigate torture ex officio whenever there are indicia that it might have happened, even if no formal complaint is filed. Based on the information received, the Special Rapporteur determines that the rights of Mr. Irakli Beraia under the UN Convention against Torture have been violated, and calls on the Government to provide the results of any investigation, medical examinations and judicial or other inquiries carried out in relation to this case. He urges the Government to investigate, prosecute and punish all those responsible, and provide full redress, including fair and adequate compensation and rehabilitation, to Mr. Beraia.

The Special Rapporteur recalls principle 4 of the Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials which provides that, “[l]aw enforcement officials, in 23
